My bicycle is an instrument of death.

No, not mine, you will just have to keep wishing for that one. But I did use it to smash a copperhead's head into snake jelly tonight when I was riding on the MUP. I let them slide when I'm out in the woods, but not where there are people and dogs around. A 120 PSI 700x28 is hard enough to get the job done with a single well placed BOUNCE! of the front tire.

I'd like to see you try that with one of our Pleistocene-throwback saber-toothed chipmunks.

"People who spend most of their natural lives riding iron bicycles over the rocky roadsteads of this parish get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of their bicycle as a result of the interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people in these parts who are nearly half people and half bicycles." - Flann O'Brien, The Third Policeman
